The third recognition came from the Global Teachers Conference, which honoured Erhunmwunse for Youth Development and Empowerment at Peniel Hall, Benson Idahosa University, Benin City, on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The conference also presented him with an Award of Excellence as a Community Impact & Education Advocate.
All three recognitions were presented on the same day, making August 26, 2026, a remarkable day of recognition for the Edo FA Chairman.
